Place the following xml in that directory and edit it to point to your uMCEDVDPlayer.exe. Make sure to change the args to point to your Blu-ray player:
(The reason I use uMCEDVDPlayer.exe is because it seems to be made for remote control use, easier gui with bigger controls and so on. You can of course choose to use the default program .exe)

Now XBMC will start TMT to play your Blu-ray disc. Next up is to get ReClock to change your refresh rate to match that of the movie. ReClock is primarely used give you smoother playback and as a bonus it gives us the possibility to create a auto refresh rate script.

Find ReClock in your start meny and open "Configure ReClock". The important settings to do here (you can of course do so much more, but these are the ones needed for this operation)

Force ReClock to be loaded in place of default renderers should be checked

Don't restrinct app loading should not be checked and below it you will have to Add... "uMCEDVDPlayer.exe" located in your TotalMedia Theater install directory. Select Load always for this item.

ReClock is now instructed to load when it detects a movie started in TMT and to run a VBS-script (RunEvent.vbs) What you need to do now is to create this script and place it in the ReClock install directory.

I've checked, and all my settings in playercorefactory.xml should be correct, but from the logs I see XBMC still tries to load DVDPlayer when selecting "Play Disc" (the disc in question is the Dark Knight Blu-Ray).

External player will work fine with PowerDVD8. I'm not sure that ReClocks refreshscript will. I will update the guide after christmas with externalplayer xml for PowerDVD. I am now successfully using PowerDVD9 in Cinema mode with it!

Everything depends on which refresh rates your TV can handle. What model do you have? I am using a LG50PG7000 via HDMI and I can get 23.976, 24, 29.997, 30, 50, 59.9 and 60hz.

mindweaver, my TV is a Fluid Plasma 42in (720p) and I also have a LG 47Y3D 47in (1080p). The main TV used is the Fluid (in my bedroom) because i use my XBMC in my bedroom. Sometime, I move the computer to the Living Room (the LG Tv). Finally, my main Viewing location is my HT in the basement, using a Popcorn Hour A100 (for now, plan to replace that with the XBMC when everything is easy enough to use for my GF). The projector is a Panasonic PT-200u

But, If I do not use the Reclock at all, that will still work well ??

Yes it will work well ReClock just does that little extra smoothening if your TV supports it. Just give it a try.

I'm trying to use this method to load blu-ray movies with MPC-HC, but I just can't get it to work.
MPC-HC will load the blu-ray movie directly without menus if you choose File: Open DVD. But if I use the command line to load a DVD it says it can't find DVD path. (DVD's work fine with the command-line, Blu-rays don't)
